What is your favorite thing about working at Loyola?
Working with my amazing team at SCPS!
What is your most memorable achievement as a Loyola employee?
I have had the wonderful opportunity this past year to interview SCPS students, faculty, and alumni in order to create them features to place on our website. It has been such a tremendous accomplishment for me to create these profiles in addition to reworking our web pages to better showcase our community.
What does Loyola's mission mean to you?
Loyola's dedication to embracing cura personalis and respecting the whole person proves to me the university's commitment to the wellness and excellence of our staff, faculty, students, and alumni. By considering a person for their many traits, flaws, personalities, and triumphs, we are able to appreciate all of what makes us unique. We all have something extraordinary to offer.
What motivates you to succeed each and every day?
We are never guaranteed tomorrow. I think approaching each day as an invaluable gift is the key to success. While some days will be much harder than others, it is how we choose to move forward and onward in our endeavors that defines our successes..
Tell us how you show your Rambler pride:
I'm still new enough to the university that I don't yet have an extensive array of LUC merch, but I am steadily growing my collection! My current favorite is my School of Education coffee mug that I picked up recently as I am starting grad school.
Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you:
I have a unique, creative side as a screenwriter and am passionately engaged with the broader Chicago film community. I am a horror movie fan, so ask me any scary movie trivia question and I'll be sure to have an answer!
